Substantiated Child Abuse
The California child welfare system is known for longstanding racial disparities and disproportionality. California and Los Angeles County have slowly and steadily reduced rates of substantiated child abuse. However, the current state of child welfare is difficult to gauge, because of simultaneous COVID-related increases in risk factors for child abuse and decreases in abuse reporting
